Tech Support - Husbands/Boyfriends

Some of you might have seen this before, but men out there, please do not take this as a slight on your wonderful qualities - This link was sent to me by Hubby - so blame him!

Dear Tech Support,

Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend to Husband and noticed a distinct slowdown in overall system performance, particularly in the flower and jewellery applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend.

In addition, Husband uninstalled many other valuable programmes, such as Romance and Personal Attention and then installed undesirable programs such as Rugby, Football, Sailing and Continuous TV. Conversation no longer runs, and Housecleaning simply crashes the system. I've tried running Nagging to fix these problems, but to no avail. What can I do?

First keep in mind, Boyfriend is an Entertainment Package, while Husband is an Operating System. Please enter the command: 'http: I Thought You Loved Me.html' and try to download Tears. Don't forget to install the Guilt update. If that application works as designed, Husband should then automatically run the applications Jewellery and Flowers, but remember - overuse of the above application can cause Husband to default to Grumpy Silence, Garden Shed or Beer. Beer is a very bad program that will download the Snoring Loudly Beta. Whatever you do, DO NOT install Mother-in-law (it runs a virus in the background that will eventually seize control of all your system resources). Also, do not attempt to reinstall the Boyfriend program. These are unsupported applications and will crash Husband. In summary, Husband is a great system, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. It also tends to work better running one task at a time. You might consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance. We recommend Food and Lingerie.

LOL had a good laugh at this, very clever, and true in absolutely every respect.. Take it from someone who has had the husband version for 46 years now, it has to be continueously updated to keep it in working order. Best wishes Margaret

Irish Independent Review of LAST KISS

Click Image to View "Last Kiss is superior and takes her writing to another, more intense level - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED."

San Francisco Book Review - LAST KISS

Click Image to View "Phillips is certainly equal to James Patterson, Sara Paretsky, and Patricia Cornwell. LAST KISS has echoes of Basic Instincts, however Phillips takes it to much more interesting places."

Sunday Independent - Queens of the Irish Crime Scene

"Phillips is superb at suspense and at conjuring up a dark menacing atmosphere."

BBC Radio Ulster - LAST KISS

“Once you start reading, you have to keep going. Phillips deserves to be known well beyond these shores. This is not just an Irish Crime thriller-it’s among the best crime writing in the world- top notch thriller."

EURO CRIME - LAST KISS

“This book is superb! A chilling and original storyline about nature versus nurture, it has you hooked right from the very first page - It has an ending that you just can't see coming!" Highly Recommended”

IRISH TIMES - LAST KISS

"The blend of first and third-person narratives gives the story great pace...Phillips is exploring the dark matter of damaged sexual identity…. the abiding impression is of the empathy Phillips evokes on behalf of her lethal but fragile anti-heroine."

Praise for The Doll's House

‘A real page turner - Phillips’ book is laced with tension and gradually builds to a thrilling finale. What’s particularly great about the novel is the author’s fearlessness in delving into the darker recesses of the Irish capital.’
